On store status we need to copy the current state of registers
into a save area. Currently we might save stale versions:
The sie state descriptor doesnt have fields for guest ACRS,FPRS,
those registers are simply stored in the host registers. The host
program must copy these away if needed. We do that in vcpu_put/load.
If we now do a store status in KVM code between vcpu_put/load, the
saved values are not up-to-date. Lets collect the ACRS/FPRS before
saving them.
This also fixes some strange problems with hotplug and virtio-ccw,
since the low level machine check handler (on hotplug a machine check
will happen) will revalidate all registers with the content of the
save area.
Running under a kvm host does not necessarily imply the presence of
a page mapped above the main memory with the virtio information;
however, the code includes a hard coded access to that page.
Instead, check for the presence of the page and exit gracefully
before we hit an addressing exception if it does not exist.
There is a race condition between mmu_notifier_unregister() and
__mmu_notifier_release().
Assume two tasks, one calling mmu_notifier_unregister() as a result of a
filp_close() ->flush() callout (task A), and the other calling
mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B).
A B
t1 srcu_read_lock()
t2 if (!hlist_unhashed())
t3 srcu_read_unlock()
t4 srcu_read_lock()
t5 hlist_del_init_rcu()
t6 synchronize_srcu()
t7 srcu_read_unlock()
t8 hlist_del_rcu() <--- NULL pointer deref.
Additionally, the list traversal in __mmu_notifier_release() is not
protected by the by the mmu_notifier_mm->hlist_lock which can result in
callouts to the ->release() notifier from both mmu_notifier_unregister()
and __mmu_notifier_release().

A bus_type has a list of devices (klist_devices), but the list and the
subsys_private structure that contains it are not initialized until the
bus_type is registered with bus_register().
The panic/reboot path has fixups that look up devices in pci_bus_type. If
we panic before registering pci_bus_type, the bus_type exists but the list
does not, so mach_reboot_fixups() trips over a null pointer and panics
again:
mach_reboot_fixups
pci_get_device
..
bus_find_device(&pci_bus_type, ...)
bus->p is NULL
Joonsoo reported a problem when panicking before PCI was initialized.
I think this patch should be sufficient to replace the patch he posted
here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/28/75 ("[PATCH] x86, reboot: skip
reboot_fixups in early boot phase")
Remove the cdev from the system (with cdev_del) *before* deallocating it
(in pps_device_destruct, called via kobject_put from device_destroy).
Also prevent deallocating a device with open file handles.
A better long-term fix is probably to remove the cdev from the pps_device
entirely, and instead have all devices reference one global cdev. Then
the deallocation ordering becomes simpler.
But that's more complex and invasive change, so we leave that
for later.
Now that N_TTY uses tty->disc_data for its private data,
'subclass' ldiscs cannot use ->disc_data for their own private data.
(This is a regression is v3.8-rc1)
Use pps_lookup_dev to associate the tty with the pps source instead.
The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty
without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer.
Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low
(n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list
of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup,
so the timing isn't affected.)
It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel
PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not
something that affects users.
There is a loophole between Xen's current implementation of
pv-spinlocks and the scheduler. This was triggerable through
a testcase until v3.6 changed the TLB flushing code. The
problem potentially is still there just not observable in the
same way.
What could happen was (is):
1. CPU n tries to schedule task x away and goes into a slow
wait for the runq lock of CPU n-# (must be one with a lower
number).
2. CPU n-#, while processing softirqs, tries to balance domains
and goes into a slow wait for its own runq lock (for updating
some records). Since this is a spin_lock_irqsave in softirq
context, interrupts will be re-enabled for the duration of
the poll_irq hypercall used by Xen.
3. Before the runq lock of CPU n-# is unlocked, CPU n-1 receives
an interrupt (e.g. endio) and when processing the interrupt,
tries to wake up task x. But that is in schedule and still
on_cpu, so try_to_wake_up goes into a tight loop.
4. The runq lock of CPU n-# gets unlocked, but the message only
gets sent to the first waiter, which is CPU n-# and that is
busily stuck.
5. CPU n-# never returns from the nested interruption to take and
release the lock because the scheduler uses a busy wait.
And CPU n never finishes the task migration because the unlock
notification only went to CPU n-#.
To avoid this and since the unlocking code has no real sense of
which waiter is best suited to grab the lock, just send the IPI
to all of them. This causes the waiters to return from the hyper-
call (those not interrupted at least) and do active spinlocking.

and overflowing beyond the end of the current line, corrupting existing
characters on the next line.

rtlwifi allocates both setup_packet and data buffer of control message urb,
using shared kmalloc in _usbctrl_vendorreq_async_write. Structure used for
allocating is:
struct {
u8 data[254];
struct usb_ctrlrequest dr;
};
Because 'struct usb_ctrlrequest' is __packed, setup packet is unaligned and
DMA mapping of both 'data' and 'dr' confuses ARM/sunxi, leading to memory
corruptions and freezes.
Patch changes setup packet to be allocated separately.

commit 9ec1882df2 (tty: serial: imx: console write routing is unsafe
on SMP) introduced a recursive locking bug in imx_console_write().
The callchain is:
imx_rxint()
spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags);
...
uart_handle_sysrq_char();
sysrq_function();
printk();
imx_console_write();
spin_lock_irqsave(&sport->port.lock,flags); <--- DEAD
The bad news is that the kernel debugging facilities can dectect the
problem, but the printks never surface on the serial console for
obvious reasons.
There is a similar issue with oops_in_progress. If the kernel crashes
we really don't want to be stuck on the lock and unable to tell what
happened.
In general most UP originated drivers miss these checks and nobody
ever notices because CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING seems to be still ignored by
a large number of developers.
The solution is to avoid locking in the sysrq case and trylock in the
oops_in_progress case.
This scheme is used in other drivers as well and it would be nice if
we could move this to a common place, so the usual copy/paste/modify
bugs can be avoided.
Now there is another issue with this scheme:
CPU0 CPU1
printk()
rxint()
sysrq_detection() -> sets port->sysrq
return from interrupt
console_write()
if (port->sysrq)
avoid locking
port->sysrq is reset with the next receive character. So as long as
the port->sysrq is not reset and this can take an endless amount of
time if after the break no futher receive character follows, all
console writes happen unlocked.
While the current writer is protected against other console writers by
the console sem, it's unprotected against open/close or other
operations which fiddle with the port. That's what the above mentioned
commit tried to solve.
That's an issue in all drivers which use that scheme and unfortunately
there is no easy workaround. The only solution is to have a separate
indicator port->sysrq_cpu. uart_handle_sysrq_char() then sets it to
smp_processor_id() before calling into handle_sysrq() and resets it to
-1 after that. Then change the locking check to:
if (port->sysrq_cpu == smp_processor_id())
locked = 0;
else if (oops_in_progress)
locked = spin_trylock_irqsave(port->lock, flags);
else
spin_lock_irqsave(port->lock, flags);
That would force all other cpus into the spin_lock path. Problem
solved, but that's way beyond the scope of this fix and really wants
to be implemented in a common function which calls the uart specific
write function to avoid another gazillion of hard to debug
copy/paste/modify bugs.

Make sure serial-driver dtr_rts is called with disc_mutex held after
checking the disconnected flag.
Due to a bug in the tty layer, dtr_rts may get called after a device has
been disconnected and the tty-device unregistered. Some drivers have had
individual checks for disconnect to make sure the disconnected interface
was not accessed, but this should really be handled in usb-serial core
(at least until the long-standing tty-bug has been fixed).
Note that the problem has been made more acute with commit 0998d0631001
("device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound") as the
port data is now also NULL when dtr_rts is called resulting in further
oopses.

This change fixes a deadlock when the multiplexer is closed while there
are still client side ports open.
When the multiplexer is closed and there are active tty's it tries to
close them with tty_vhangup. This has a problem though, because
tty_vhangup needs the tty_lock. This patch changes it to unlock the
tty_lock before attempting the hangup and relocks afterwards. The
additional call to tty_port_tty_set is needed because otherwise the
port stays active because of the reference counter.
This change also exposed another problem that other code paths don't
expect that the multiplexer could have been closed. This patch also adds
checks for these cases in the gsmtty_ class of function that could be
called.
The documentation explicitly states that "first close all virtual ports
before closing the physical port" but we've found this to not always
reality in our field situations. The GPRS / UTMS modem sometimes crashes
and needs a power cycle in that case which means cleanly shutting down
everything is not always possible. This change makes it much more robust
for our situation where at least the system is recoverable with this patch
and doesn't hang in a deadlock situation inside the kernel.
The patch is against the long term support kernel (3.4.27) and should
apply cleanly to more recent branches. Tested with a Telit GE864-QUADV2
and Telit HE910 modem.
snd-aloop driver has no proper PM implementation, thus the PM resume
may trigger Oops due to leftover timer instance. This patch adds the
missing suspend/resume implementation.
According to the other code in this driver and similar
code in rme96 it seems, that spin_lock_irq in
snd_rme32_capture_close function should be paired
with spin_unlock_irq.

commit d8e794dfd51c368ed3f686b7f4172830b60ae47b ("workqueue: set

unusable for non-GPL modules, because initialization macro now requires
GPL symbol. For example schedule_delayed_work() available for non-GPL.
Enable hyperv_clocksource only if its advertised as a feature.
XenServer 6 returns the signature which is checked in
ms_hyperv_platform(), but it does not offer all features. Currently the
clocksource is enabled unconditionally in ms_hyperv_init_platform(), and
the result is a hanging guest.
Hyper-V spec Bit 1 indicates the availability of Partition Reference
Counter. Register the clocksource only if this bit is set.
The guest in question prints this in dmesg:
[ 0.000000] Hypervisor detected: Microsoft HyperV
[ 0.000000] HyperV: features 0x70, hints 0x0
This bug can be reproduced easily be setting 'viridian=1' in a HVM domU
.cfg file. A workaround without this patch is to boot the HVM guest with
'clocksource=jiffies'.
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram contains a race which could result in
timer.base switch during unlock/lock sequence.
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram is releasing the lock protecting the timer
base for calling raise_softirq_irqsoff() due to a lock ordering issue
versus rq->lock.
If during that time another CPU calls __hrtimer_start_range_ns() on
the same hrtimer, the timer base might switch, before the current CPU
can lock base->lock again and therefor the unlock_timer_base() call
will unlock the wrong lock.

Remove the call and let the handling code run even for an interrupt

the above commit and avoids the deadlock.
Document the confusing action = desc->action reload in the handling

The %name-prefix "prefix" syntax is not available on bison 2.3 and
older. Substitute with the -p "prefix" command-line option for
compatibility with older versions of bison.
This patch fixes this build error with older versions of bison.
This code was an optimization for 32-bit NUMA systems.
It has probably been the cause of a number of subtle bugs over
the years, although the conditions to excite them would have
been hard to trigger. Essentially, we remap part of the kernel
linear mapping area, and then sometimes part of that area gets
freed back in to the bootmem allocator. If those pages get
used by kernel data structures (say mem_map[] or a dentry),
there's no big deal. But, if anyone ever tried to use the
linear mapping for these pages _and_ cared about their physical
address, bad things happen.
For instance, say you passed __GFP_ZERO to the page allocator
and then happened to get handed one of these pages, it zero the
remapped page, but it would make a pte to the _old_ page.
There are probably a hundred other ways that it could screw
with things.
We don't need to hang on to performance optimizations for
these old boxes any more. All my 32-bit NUMA systems are long
dead and buried, and I probably had access to more than most
people.
This code is causing real things to break today:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/9/376
I looked in to actually fixing this, but it requires surgery
to way too much brittle code, as well as stuff like
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys().
[ hpa: Cc: this for -stable, since it is a memory corruption issue.
However, an alternative is to simply mark NUMA as depends BROKEN

mm: fix pageblock bitmap allocation
Commit c060f943d092 ("mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx
calculation") fixed out calculation of the index into the pageblock
bitmap when a !SPARSEMEM zome was not aligned to pageblock_nr_pages.
However, the _allocation_ of that bitmap had never taken this alignment
requirement into accout, so depending on the exact size and alignment of
the zone, the use of that index could then access past the allocation,
resulting in some very subtle memory corruption.
This was reported (and bisected) by Ingo Molnar: one of his random
config builds would hang with certain very specific kernel command line
options.
In the meantime, commit c060f943d092 has been marked for stable, so this

x86/xen: don't assume %ds is usable in xen_iret for 32-bit PVOPS.
This fixes CVE-2013-0228 / XSA-42
Drew Jones while working on CVE-2013-0190 found that that unprivileged guest user
in 32bit PV guest can use to crash the > guest with the panic like this:
Petr says: "
I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "
Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:
"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."
The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.
Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment. In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake()

the driver explicitly disables wakeup. Many drivers never disable
wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are
removed, e.g., via hotplug. A subsequent PME poll will oops when
it tries to touch the device.
This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes
the device from pci_pme_list. This is safe even if the device never

This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter

Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.
The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.
This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.
Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing

x86/apic: Work around boot failure on HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server systems
When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel,
there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could
result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss.
The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical
mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default
setting.
This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or
"nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system
without requiring manual workarounds.
The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table.
As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the
control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec,
chapter 2.9.
Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode
enabled:
When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL:
1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical
or xapic phys driver at first.
2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode.
3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe()
will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode.
Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to
take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT
indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check
FADT PHYSICAL.
Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the
problem.

When trying to connect to an AP that advertises HT but not
VHT, the mac80211 code erroneously uses the configuration
from the AP as is instead of checking it against regulatory
and local capabilities. This can lead to using an invalid
or even inexistent channel (like 11/HT40+).
Additionally, the return flags from downgrading must be
ORed together, to collect them from all of the downgrades.
Also clarify the message.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:
====================
The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS fixes for 3.8-rc7, they are:
* Fix oops in IPVS state-sync due to releasing a random memory area due
to unitialized pointer, from Dan Carpenter.
* Fix SCTP flow establishment due to bad checksumming mangling in IPVS,
from Daniel Borkmann.
* Three fixes for the recently added IPv6 NPT, all from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki,
with an amendment collapsed into those patches from Ulrich Weber. They
fiix adjustment calculation, fix prefix mangling and ensure LSB of
prefixes are zeroes (as required by RFC).
Specifically, it took me a while to validate the 1's complement arithmetics/
checksumming approach in the IPv6 NPT code.

Merge branch 'gso_type'
Michael S. Tsirkin says:
====================
At the moment, macvtap crashes are observed if macvtap is attached
to an interface with LRO enabled.
The crash in question is BUG() in macvtap_skb_to_vnet_hdr.
This happens because several drivers set gso_size but not gso_type
in incoming skbs.
This didn't use to be the case: with intel cards on 3.2 and older
kernels, with qlogic - on 3.4 and older kernels, so it's a regression if
not a recent one.
The following patches fix this for qlogic, broadcom and intel drivers.
I tested that the patch fixes the crash for ixgbe but
don't have qlogic/broadcom hardware to test.
I also only tested TCPv4.
Please review, and consider for 3.8.
Changes from v1:
- added missing htons as suggested by Eric
- backported the relevant bits from cbf1de72324a8105ddcc3d9ce9acbc613faea17e for bnx2x
====================

In LRO mode, bnx2x set gso_size but not gso type.
This leads to crashes in macvtap.
Commit cbf1de72324a8105ddcc3d9ce9acbc613faea17e
queued for 3.9 includes a more complete fix.
This is a minimal patch to avoid the crash, for 3.8.

stmmac: mdio register has to fail if the phy is not found
With this patch the stmmac fails in case of the phy device
is not found; w/o this fix the mdio can be register twice when
do down/up the iface and this is not correct.

drm/nouveau: add lockdep annotations
1) Lockdep thinks all nouveau subdevs belong to the same class and can be
locked in arbitrary order, which is not true (at least in general case).
Tell it to distinguish subdevs by (o)class type.
2) DRM client can be locked under user client lock - tell lockdep to put
DRM client lock in a separate class.
